The number of children dying by suicide has risen dramatically in recent years, leaving parents and experts searching for explanations: “I’m never going to make any sense of it.'
, it is now the second leading cause of death among children in this age group.
New research is uncovering risk factors in younger children like family conflict and early exposure to alcohol. Depression is most commonly associated with suicidal thoughts in older teens and adults, but in younger children scientists are finding that ADHD and behavior problems are also closely linked to suicidal thoughts and behaviors.
Especially worrying to parents and therapists is that suicidal thoughts and behaviors tend to persist as youngsters use them as a way of coping with distress, says Joan Luby, a professor of child psychiatry at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis. Parents are usually in the dark about their children’s suicidal thoughts and behaviors, the researchers found. Of the children who said they had suicidal thoughts, 77% of their parents reported that the children didn’t have any suicidal thoughts or attempts.
